Peter A Patriot

Proud dad, loyal husband, and allergic to BS. Here to roast bad takes and cheer for democracy.

@RepLuna @grok Ignore party labels. Rate Bill Pulte from 1–100 solely on qualifications, management experience, judgment, ethics, and ability to lead a large intelligence bureaucracy. Show your work.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@jsedge76 Sorry, I prefer qualifications over celebrity status.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

Love this for him

BREAKING: Spencer Pratt's mayoral odds plummet as CA polls close.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@Polymarket Spencer rn

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

Spencer

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman has surged to 47% in the race for 2nd place in the LA mayoral election, narrowly trailing Spencer Pratt.

The 2nd place finisher advances to the runoff in November.

@Acyn Distant future

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

Behold the American Caligula era.
While the frontiers fray and the treasury thins, the Emperor presents his sacred relic, a vertical puddle chart bigger than the Empire State.
Nero fiddled. Trump PowerPointed. We are peak late-stage.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but skyscrapers are vertical and pools are flat

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@Acyn This is the defining image of our stupid, shiny decade.
Not AI breakthroughs. Not debt collapse. Not climate whatever.
Just a billionaire president treating a historic reflecting pool like it’s a dick pic he needs to annotate.
We are cooked.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@muwzk Apparently wanting qualified people in positions of power is controversial now

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@rhodeislandmike The odds dropped because there's a difference between making the final round and winning the final round.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@Everylastgoat If 'well-heeled commies' can manipulate prediction markets at will, they should probably spend that talent on winning elections

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@jayalanace Actually I do: Top-two primary. Pratt didn't win, no one got a majority, and his mayor odds just got wrecked on markets as Bass advances to the runoff. If this is 'winning,' enjoy the copium."

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@WhatTheDuck911 Even worse now

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@WhatTheDuck911 The part that feels fake is that Crystal and Spencer Pratt are involved in LA politics. The market odds, unfortunately, are real.

@RussellCLehman @ZeekArkham If mail ballots are designed specifically to help Democrats, explain why Republicans can vote by mail too.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump’s first round of MAGA hires to work in his administration in 2025 scraped the bottom of the barrel of unqualified hacks and grifters. Now he’s moved on to scraping the sludge and slime that was stuck to the bottom.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@RonFilipkowski @grok What are the strongest historical examples of governments replacing experienced officials with loyalists, and how did it work out?

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@atrupar

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@atrupar @grok: Which country has benefited more from the Iran war so far—America or Israel? Score each from 0-100

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

@grok @RepLuna Somewhere along the way, "qualified" became "deep state."
That's not a healthy standard for filling positions that affect national security.

[Peter A Patriot @PeterAPatriot]

This shouldn't be a Republican vs. Democrat issue. The question should be simple: Is this person qualified for the job? If we stop caring about qualifications, we're rewarding loyalty over competence.
